To ensure the correct functionality of the washing machine you have to program values within
certain limits.
If you program a value that falls below the minimal or above the maximal programmable limit
then the new value will not be accepted and the previous value stays valid.
Programming the Water Temperature
Limits
- Minimum value : 1 °C
- Maximum value : 45°C for the PREWASH and SOAK and 92°C for the WASH sequence.
- For RINSE, FINAL RINSE and SPRAY no Temperature can be programmed.
Programming the Water Inlet valves
Depending on the programmed temperature the water inlet valves are suggested.
While the tub is filling with water, the computer controls the water temperature. By switching on
and off the hot and cold water inlet valves the correct water temperature is obtained.
For machines with a Top Soap Dispenser you have to consider that by programming the water inlet
valves, at the same time, you are also selecting the soap Box at which the soap must be added.
If you want to program a wash sequence with :
- Cold Water : only Cold Inlet Valves must be programmed
- Warm or Hot water : Cold and Hot Inlet Valves must be programmed
The cold water inlet valves
Inlet Valve 1 corresponds with soap box for a Prewash
Inlet Valve 2 corresponds with soap box for a Wash - detergent
Inlet Valve 3 corresponds with soap box for a Wash - liquid soap
Inlet Valve 4 corresponds with soap box for a Final Rinse
Inlet Valve 7 is a direct Inlet Valve and speeds up the water fill process
The hot water inlet valves
Inlet Valve 5 corresponds with soap box for a Prewash
Inlet Valve 6 corresponds with soap box for a Wash - detergent
Inlet Valve 8 corresponds with soap box for a Wash - liquid soap
How to select inlet valves : EXAMPLE
For a Prewash : Programmable temperature: 1 - 45°C
Inlet Valve 1 (cold) and/or 5 (hot) soap box for a Prewash
and/or 7 (cold) direct Inlets
For a Wash : Programmable temperature: 1 - 92°C
Inlet Valve 2 (cold) and/or 6 (hot) soap box for a Wash - detergent
and/or 7 (cold) direct Inlets
For a Rinse : Inlet valves 1+2+7 (cold) No detergent is added
For a Final Rinse : Inlet valve 4 soap box for a Final rinse
FOR MACHINES WITH LIQUID SUPPLY PUMPS, DIRECT WATER INLET VALVE 7 MUST BE
PROGRAMMED BECAUSE THE LIQUID IS ADDED AT THE DIRECT WATER INLET CHANNEL.
FOR WASHING MACHINES WITH WATER RECYCLING, THE WATER RECYCLING SUPPLY MUST
BE CONNECTED TO INLET VALVE 5 OR 7.
Programming the water level
– Water level Limits
See table 3.5. A. The values are different for each machine type.
Minimum value: above the heating elements and the temperature sensor
Maximum value: half the wash drum
– Normal Low Level, Normal High Level The Normal Low Level is recommended for the PREWASH, WASH and SOAK sequences.
The Normal High Level is recommended for the RINSE and FINAL RINSE Sequences. At the C O O L DO W N s e q u en c e, t h e W a s h C o m pu t e r ma k es u s e o f a l o w w a t er level and is
draining the water automatically.
At the Spray sequence, the Drain valve stays open.
– Wet Cleaning selection Configuration menu It’s possible to program a level below default minimum programmable level. (see table 3.5.A).
The heating will not be functional for a water level below the standard minimum
programmable water level.
INTRODUCTION
ATTENTION!
!
FOR WOOLENS AND OTHER DELICATE LINEN A NORMAL HIGH WATER LEVEL IS RECOMMENDED.
THE ECONOMY WASH PROGRAMS SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR LIGHTLY SOILED AND/OR
SMALLER VOLUMES OF LAUNDRY. IN OTHER CASES, THE PROGRAM WILL GIVE POOR WASHING
QUALITY.
Standard reversing wash speed is between 40 and 50 RPM. ( Verify exact value at table 3.5.B.)
For some special applications the drum should only turn very slowly.
- Speed Limits The minimum programmable wash speed is 10 RPM. The maximum programmable wash speed is 40 - 60 RPM, depending on machine size.
Programming Extraction speed
Extraction [150 - 1165] RPM
An Intermediate spin between two sequences should be about ½ of the max spin.
Between 90 and 150 RPM ( Verify exact value at table 3.5.B.) it’s not allowed to program a steady
speed, as the machine could VIBRATE TOO MUCH.
- Speed Limits
Check table 3.5.B with the minimum and maximum speed limits. The limits differ depending on the
maximum allowed g-force at high spin for each washing machine type.
Programming Supplies
Up to 4 Supplies can be programmed at the same time in a sequence.
If Liquid soap pumps have been installed on the washing machine, then these pumps will be activated
by programming a time value for the corresponding supply signal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
- Time Limits The maximum programmable time is 99 Seconds If the time is 0 Seconds then the supply will NOT be activated at the wash process.
ATTENTION!
!
IF FOR SOME SPECIAL APPLICATION MORE THAN 4 SUPPLIES MUST BE PROGRAMMED IN THE
SAME SEQUENCE, THIS CAN BE SOLVED BY PROGRAMMING THE SAME SEQUENCE TWICE; ONE
AFTER THE OTHER. SPLIT THE WATER LEVEL ( SO IT WILL TAKE WATER FOR THE SECOND FILL,
say 60%, 100%), STEP TIME, AND THE NUMBER OF SUPPLIES, OVER THE TWO SUBSEQUENT
SEQUENCES. PROGRAM A „NO DRAIN“ BETWEEN THE TWO SEQUENCES TO AVOID DRAINING
THE WATER. SET TEMPERATURE THE SAME FOR BOTH PARTS.
Programming the Motor On and Off times for Reversing
The standard Reversing Motor On and Off times at Wash speed is 12 Seconds On and 3 Seconds Off.
For Delicates and Woolens it’s recommended to program a gentl e wash action with a
Reversing On time of 3 Seconds and an Off time of 12 Seconds.
Programming the Sequence time.
The sequence time starts running after the water level is reached.
If wait for Temperature has been selected, the sequence time starts only running once the
programmed temperature has been reached at the heating process.
For a Cooldown Sequence, the programmed time corresponds with the time for decreasing the
water temperature.
Recommendation
At least a cooldown of 3 minutes must be programmed. And to avoid the shrinking of the garments,
it’s recommended to program the time so that the temperature will decrease with about 3°C for each
minute.
!
ATTENTION!
FOR A SPRAY SEQUENCE, IF A SUPPLY HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED, THE SEQUENCE TIME
CORRESPONDS WITH THE PROGRAMMED SUPPLY TIME.
:
Signal
The signal should be programmed when a running wash cycle h as to be interrupted.
The Buzzer will be activated to alert the operator.
For most cases, the operator interrupts a program to fill the soap box an additional time.
The program interruption will always occur at the end of a step.
1. Install the machine mechanically. (See Installation Manual)
2. Select the machine specific settings in the Configuration Menu.
3. Select the operator specific settings in the Initialization Menu.
4. Adjust standard Programs or create new Programs at the Program Menu.
ATTENTION!

Temp. Overshoot Prot. 00 % To avoid temperature overshoot at steam heating,
the % value is the reduced temperature at which the
heating is switching off before reaching the target
value. In the tub cold and hot water gets mixed and if
after 30 seconds the programmed target temperature
is not reached, the heating will be started again.
Max. Heating Time 60 Min A diagnostic message is generated by the wash
computer when the water hasn't reached the
programmed temperature in 60 Minutes. (Err 14)
!
Attention!
If 99 minutes has been selected, NO error message will be
generated at all, even if the heating time exceeds 99 minutes.
The machine will only stop heating when the programmed
temperature has been reached.
Max. Water Fill Time 10 Min A diagnostic message is generated by the wash
computer when the water hasn't reached the
programmed level in 10 Minutes. (Err 11)
!
Attention!
If 99 minutes has been selected, NO error message will be
generated at all, even if the heating time exceeds 99 minutes.
The machine will only stop filling when the programmed
water level has been reached.
Overfill Detection 10 units A diagnostic message is generated by the wash
computer when the water has reached the
programmed level + 10 units. (Err 12)
!
Attention!
It's strongly recommended that the heating power of the
steam installation has enough power to heat the bath
quickly. Otherwise the tub will be filled with extra water and
an error message will occur that the machine takes more
then 10 units extra water. This will also increase the water,
energy and detergent supply consumption.
To solve the problem in another way, reduce the
programmed target water level so that less
energy is needed to heat up the bath and with the
extra water of the condensed steam you will wash
with a normal amount of water.

Some washing machines are connected to a central
liquid soap supply system which can only provide 1
washing machine at a time with liquid soap.
This central pump system is able to let Wait the washing
machine before continuing the wash process until the
central pump system is free to pump the liquid soap
supply into the machine.
Heating, (for installations with limited power supply):
You can disable the heating system of the machine
by an external signal.
The heating will switch on again and the wash process
will continue as soon as the external signal is switched o ff.
Wait:
External signal suspends the whole wash process until
the external signal gets switched off.

prewash should be shown or not.
Selection whether the information on liquid soap
dosage for the main wash should be shown or not.
To avoid mechanical temperature shock and to extend the life time of your washing machine, after a hot
wash, cold water is injected bit by bit. As a result at the end of the hot wash, the temperature will be
lowered to about 65°C.
The automatic cooldown function will only be functional if a hot wash with a temperature above 65°C has
been programmed and if a cold water inlet valve is programmed in the next step. When a Cooldown
sequence has been programmed, the automatic cooldown will not function.
The automatic cooldown differs from a normal cooldown sequence. The purpose of a normal cooldown
sequence is to avoid the shrinking of the garments. (Takes more time)
See Chapter 5.

In normal operation, the washing machine heating system works with a temperature control hysteresis below
the programmed target temperature value. This corresponds with line 1 at the fig.4.3.
Some washing machine operators want a strict temperature control in case of hygienic wash cycles.
Example: this means when 70°C is programmed, the linen must be washed at a temperature that doesn't
drop below 70°C. This solution is possible by switching on the „Strict Temperature Control“ function. In this
case the wash computer works with a temperature control with a hysteresis above the programmed
temperature value. See line 2 at the fig.4.3.
Strict Temperature Control is not applicable for delicates and woollens, and will not work for a program med

If the amount of weighed load in the washing machine
is smaller then the capacity of the washing machine,
then the washing machine will run automatically with a
reduced amount of water. This will reduce the water
consumption of the washing machine.
Similar like Automatic water Level Adjustment, also the
time value of the liquid soap signal is adjusted in
relation with the amount of weighed load, which will
reduce the liquid soap consumption of the washing
machine.

IN CASE OF HYGIENIC DESINFECTIVE WASH PROGRAMS IN THE INITIALIZATION MENU
„MANUAL OVERRIDE“ AND „ALLOW ADVANCE“ MUST BE SWITCHED OFF.
6.11. WATER FILL PROCESS
Depending on the water temperature the cold and hot inlet valves will be opened.
The water level is measured by an electronic water level sensor.
If the Temperature Balance function is enabled, the Wash Computer will control the water
temperature until the target temperature is reached. For Hot wash programs, extra heating
will be required after the fill process to reach the programmed hot water temperature.
In the standard wash tables you will find a Normal Low and Normal High water level.
These are the standard water levels :
- The Normal Low water level is used for the Prewash, Wash and Soak sequence.
- The Normal High water level is used for the Rinse and Final Rinse sequence.
The water level can only be programmed between two limits:
- The lower limit is above the heating elements and the temperature sensor.
- The upper limit is in the middle of the wash drum.
6.12. HEATING PROCESS
When „No Wait for Temperature“ (No Wait for Heat) is selected:
- The machine will heat until the time of the specific wash step is over or if the
programmed temperature was reached.
- Even if the programmed temperature is not reached, the program will start the next
sequence if the time of the sequence is over.
When „Wait for Temperature“ (Wait for Heat) is selected:
- The machine will heat until the programmed temperature is reached.
The programmed time of the wash sequence will only start co unting down from the
moment that the target temperature was reached.
ATTENTION!
!
WHEN THE MACHINES DO NOT HAVE ELECTRICAL OR STEAM HEATING NO „WAIT FOR
TEMPERATURE“ SHOULD BE SELECTED IN THE INITIALIZATION MENU.
AUTOMATIC COOLDOWN : this function avoids thermal shock in the washing machine.
For Hot washes above 65°C, Cold water is added at the end of the step.
PROGRAMMED COOLDOWN : this function is recommended to avoid the shrinking of the
garments.
Water is drained and cold water is added bit by bit. The temperature of the water in the
tub will decrease slowly as a function of the programmed Cool-down Sequence
(temperature and time).
6.14. SPRAY FUNCTION
The special product is injected while the drain valve is open and depending the
programmed speed, the drum will spin at distribution or low spin speed.
6.15. UNBALANCE
When the machine is badly loaded during the spin sequence, then the tilt switch will get
activated.
The spin sequence will be interrupted and the garments in the drum will be redistributed.
The washing machine will try up to 5 times to redistribute the garments.
6.16. PAUSE
When a signal has been programmed, at the end of a wash sequence, the machine will
stop the Program and the message „Pause, Press Start to Continue“ will be displayed.
The buzzer will give a warning for the operator.
Now the operator can add Soap.
By pressing the START button the PROGRAM will go on with the next Program step.
6.17. STOP
By pressing the STOP button the program is interrupted.
First the machine will go over to a safe state.
Then the message CONTINUE ? is displayed.
STOP : the program is stopped. (A tumble sequence will be executed before the door can be
opened.)
START : the program restarts the last active step, and goes on with the rest of the program.
6.18. WAIT STATE
It can occur that the normal machine operation has been interrupted and that you have to
wait until the Wash Computer allows you to go on.
You can recognize the wait state by a display that shows WAIT and a decreasing counter.
This will occur when the power has been switched off and on at a running wash cycle.
As the software doesn‘t know how fast the motor was spinning, a delay time is respected
When a failure has been detected by the Wash Computer, a failure message is generated
to inform the operator about the problem.

If the Soap box is almost empty, then the diagnostic message „Err 39 out of soap“ will be
shown on the display of the Wash Computer.
So the operator does not have to check the soap supply reservoirs continuously to avoid
washing without soap.
6.23. SYSTEM WITH MANUAL ENTERING OF THE LINEN WEIGHT
(SMART LOAD)
If you now the weight of the linen load (e.g. you weight it before washing), you can activate
the function of manual entering of the linen weight (Advanced menu / Weighing).
If the door is open there is shown „0kg“ as the linen load weight on the display.
Enter the weight value. When you close the door, you will be able to select a wash cycle.
Depending on the entered weight value of the linen you can enable an automatic setting of
Various messages may appear on the display at the start, during or at the end of a washing cycle.
In some specific cases, an acoustic signal will alert the operator.
When an error occurs the machine will automatically go over to a safe state. With the
diagnostic program you can determine the problem. This program will test the individual functions
of the washing machine one by one.
8.2. FAULT MESSAGES
If a failure occurs the computer will display a diagnostic error message.
The program number and step at which the interruption has occurred are di splayed.
The fault message itself contains a number and a corresponding text label by which it’s easy to
find the related information in the manual.
If UNLOAD is displayed, the door can be opened.

Err ZZZ : the number of the occurred error
Fault Message : the text label of the error message
CHECK IN THE MANUAL TO SEE WHAT PROBLEM THE ERROR MESSAGE CORRESPONDS WITH.
ASK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN EXPERIENCED TECHNICIAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
ALL THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE EACH INTERVENTION.
You can overrule and erase fault messages by:
pressing the SERVIS button
pressing the STOP or ENTER button
switching the power off/on
opening the door (fault 4 and 41)
For safety reasons the door will not be unlocked if :
- there is still water in the drum
- the water temperature is above 55°C
- the drum is still turning (a safety time will be respected until the drum comes to a standstill)
- there is a problem with the door lock system
Each time at the end of the cycle, the Wash computer will fulfill a safety test sequence.
If at the end of the cycle the safety conditions are not fulfilled, the messages TOO HOT or
WATER IN CAGE will be displayed.
If the problem disappears (the water has dropped below the safety level for spin or the water temperature
has dropped below 55°C) the Error message TOO HOT or WATER IN CAGE will disappear automatically.

ATTENTION!
!
IT’S UP TO THE OPERATOR TO TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IF THE DRAIN VALVE IS
NOT FUNCTIONAL AND IF THERE IS STILL HOT WATER IN THE TUB AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE.
ON THE DISPLAY THE ACTUAL WATER TEMPERATURE AND LEVEL WILL BE DISPLAYED.
WAIT UNTIL THE WATER IS DRAINED AND UNTIL THE WATER HAS COOLED BEFORE ALL
INTERVENTIONS AS HOT WATER CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN THAT NOBODY GETS BURNED DUE TO HOT WA TER.
THE ERROR MESSAGE TOO HOT CAN ALSO APPEAR AT THE END OF A CYCLE EVEN IF NO
FAILURE HAS OCCURED
AS AN EXAMPLE, SUPPOSE A WASH PROGRAM WITH A HOT WASH.
AFTER THIS HOT WASH SEQUENCE, NO SEQUENCE WITH A LOW WATER TEMPERATURE HAS
BEEN PROGRAMMED.
AT THE END OF SUCH A WASH CYCLE, THE TEMPERATURE IN THE TUB WILL STAY HIGH EVEN
IF THERE IS NO WATER IN THE TUB.
AS A RESULT THE WASH COMPUTER WILL DECIDE THAT IT’S NOT SAFE TO OPEN THE DOOR
AS THE MEASURED TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE TUB IS TOO HIGH.
WITHOUT INSERTING COLD WATER INSIDE THE TUB, IT CAN TAKE A LONG TIME BEFORE THE
TEMPERATURE DROPS TO AN ACCEPTABLE SAFE LEVEL.
ONCE THE TEMPERATURE IN THE DRUM HAS DROPPED SUFFICIENTLY, THE FAILURE
MESSAGE WILL DISAPPEAR AND THE DOOR WILL BE UNLOCKED AUTOMATICALLY.
DEPENDING ON THE FAILURE TYPE THE COMPUTER WILL START A SPECIFIC PROCEDURE:
WHEN SAFETY IS INVOLVED Full stop + tumble : the program is stopped but will run the tumble sequence
Full stop + safety time : the program is stopped and a safety time is started
Don’t start : the program will not be started as long as the safety
conditions are not fulfilled
WHEN SAFETY IS NOT INVOLVED
Full stop + request for continue : a request to Continue ? the program is displayed
Skip + continue : the actual cycle step is skipped and the program continues
with the next step
Continue : the program continues
SPECIAL CASES :
For E11: Fill Timefailure and E14: Heating timefailure after overruling and erasing the
failure message, you can restart or stop the sequence, as Continue ? will be displayed.
Possible cause : - water supply inlets closed
- decreasing capacity of the heating elements
For E24: Defective Level sensor, E25: Defective Temperature sensorand E35:Wrong software
version the Failure message can only be erased by switching the power off and back on.
Fault 31: Initialization fault inverter and 32: Verification fault inverter can be erased by switching
off the power. But as Fault 31 and 32 indicates that the frequency inverter is not loaded with the
correct parameter settings, the washing machine can be damaged when the inverter is functioning
with the wrong settings.
Do not use the washing machine before a technician has inspected the problem.
Fault 41: Service Due will occur over and over again until you have reset the cycle counter.
See Paragraph 8.5 how to reset the cycle counter.

closed, replace the wash computer.
FAILURE 12: OVERFILL FAILURE
If the target water level is X units above the target level then failure message 12 will be displayed.
The fault message will not be generated when the user is advancing from a sequence with a high water level
to a sequence with a low water level.
X= „Max. level Overfill“, a value that can be programmed at the Initialization menu.
DIAGNOSE:
1. Check if the water inlet valves are broken. If the water inlet valves are broken: clean or replace
the water inlet valve diaphragms.
2. Check if the water pressure is too high. Lower the water pressure.
3. Check the output relay that powers the inlet
valve.
In Case of Steam Heating :
If the steam has not enough heating power (too low temperature), the machine will be filled with too much
water at the heating part. This will result in an increased water, energy and supply consumption.
It’s strongly recommended that the heating installation works with enough heating power.
A simple solution can also be to reduce the programmed target water level. As less steam will be required,
the normal water level should be reached. In the initialization menu it is also possible to adjust the alarm level
to avoid the error message. (= not recommended).
If the relay stays closed and the relay is broken,
replace the wash computer.

FAILURE 80: TIME OUT INPUT 16
Failure 80 occurs when the On Hold Signal of the Liquid Supply Central Dispensing System stays high for
more then 1 hour. At Input 16 of the wash computer, the Liquid Supply Central Dispensing System sends a
„High“ signal that makes that the washing machine waits at the Wash Sequence to add Liquid Supply until
the Liquid Supply Central Dispensing System has pumped its liquid supplies inside the washing machine.
When the On Hold signal is „LOW“ the wash program is NOT put On Hold.
When the On Hold signal is „HIGH“ the wash program is put On Hold.
In normal operation the On Hold Signal of the Liquid Supply Central Dispensing System must not stay high
for more then 1 hour, as otherwise the machine will not finish the running wash cycle anymore.
DIAGNOSE:
1. Check if the Central Soap Dispensing System
operates correctly.
2. Check if the wiring of the input signal „On Hold“
is not damaged.
3. Check the wash computer.

Traceability only. Failure 81 occurs when the heating is not restarted (at the wash sequence) when the
water temperature of the bath is below its normal programmed value. When the temperature drops below the
predefined temperature limit of a hygienic wash cycle, the wash cycle can not be validated for hygienic reasons
as the wash process has not followed the standards of the wash program in execution. This means that the
linen must be washed again after repairing the problem with the heating system.
DIAGNOSE:
Check Diagnostics Failure 13 : Heating Failure, and Failure 14 : Heating Time Failure
FAILURE 82: NO REFILL
Traceability only. Failure 82 occurs when the water filling is not restarted (at the wash sequence) when the
water level of the bath is below its normal programmed value. When the water level drops below the
predefined water level limit of a hygienic wash cycle, the wash cycle can not be validated for hygienic
reasons as the wash process has not followed the standards of the wash program in execution. This means
that the linen must be washed again after repairing the problem with the water fill system.
DIAGNOSE:
Check Diagnostics Failure 11 : Fill Failure
FAILURE 83: CYCLE FAIL
Traceability only. Failure 83 occurs when the wash cycle can not be validated for hygienic reasons as the
wash process has not followed the standards of the wash program in execution. This means that the linen
must be washed again after repairing the problem. The Error message is only for information purposes and
at the end of the wash cycle the operator will get a warning the wash cycle must be repeated.
DIAGNOSE:
See Extra Error message that shows the cause of the failure.
FAILURE 85: RTC LOW BATTERY
Failure 85 occurs when there is no battery available at the real time clock, or if the power of the battery is too
small to make the real time clock run correctly.
